There’s nothing terribly new this time, but there’s definitely been some progress.

Let’s start with the ads. On the short story front, Thrilling Adventure Yarns 2022, containing my story “The House of the Spider,” is finally out. That link is for the paperback or hardcover; the ebook is also available, but hasn’t yet been linked to the paper editions.

I’ve also just published the new Misenchanted Press edition of my short story collection, Crosstime Traffic, in paperback; I’ll get to the ebook edition in a few days, I hope.

I intend to get a new edition of Celestial Debris out soon, as well, and a collection called The Final Folly of Captain Dancy & Other Tall Tales that will replace The Final Folly of Captain Dancy & Other Pseudohistorical Fantasies — it’ll have all the stories of the FoxAcre book, plus two new ones and maybe some other stuff. I don’t have any solid dates, though.

Moving on to novels, new editions of Nightside City and Realms of Light are now available from most online outlets in both ebook and paper.

New editions of Shining Steel and Among the Powers/Denner’s Wreck are in the works, as well.

Also now available: The audiobook of The Ninth Talisman is on sale. The final book of the trilogy, The Summer Palace, is in the works.

Okay, that’s all the newly-released stuff for you to buy. I still don’t have an exact date for Charming Sharra, but I’m expecting it some time next month.

Moving on to convention news, I’m planning to attend Norwescon in April, but it looks as if I won’t be on programming. If you’re hoping to find me there, I don’t yet have a good way to do so, but I’ll try to come up with one.

We are also very seriously considering attending the Worldcon in Chengdu in October; my Chinese daughter-in-law is pushing hard to get us to go, promising her services as interpreter.

There aren’t any other conventions on our list right now.

I’ve been too busy with the publishing stuff to do much writing lately, but while I was getting stuff ready to reprint I did come up with rough outlines for two more Carlisle Hsing stories, The Ruins of Mars and End of the Night. No idea whether I’ll ever actually write them.

And that seems to be everything.

By the way, I welcome comments and suggestions on what I can do to make the newsletter more worth your while. Thanks for reading.
